This is one of my favorite variants of the Support Zealot Build, but my current absolute favorite is this one:

I highly recommend using it since the Havoc Mutators are changing and you will not longer run into "The Blight Spreads", which is why people were running Beacon of Purity in the first place.
Pros: Great single target DPS, survivability, very mobile, important role in Havoc and for certain Auric / Maelstrom modifiers.
Cons: Depending on your ranged weapon you sacrifice either high single target DPS or massive horde clear, this build doesn't use Until Death so you have to play perfectly.
Weapons
In this build you should use the Combat Blade or Dueling Sword to be able to run Uncanny Strike and take advantage of the Duellist talent.
For your ranged weapon you can either run the Recon Lasgun for high single target damage and to help with crossfire / special sniping or the Flamer to cleave down hordes.
Curios
For Curios I run a balanced setup with 2 toughness and 1 stamina. Grab Ability Cooldown, Stamina Regeneration, Toughness, Sprint Efficiency, and Block Efficiency. You're going to be using your ability whenever it's up so you really want as much cooldown reduction as you can get and stacking stamina benefits makes surviving much easier.
Talents
Anoint in Blood and Purge the Unclean provide a lot of damage for our ranged weapon and against bosses, I think they are pretty important for any Zealot build to take.
On the way to Blades of Faith take all of the nodes except for Blood Redemption, you don't really need it. Scourge and Enduring Faith synergize really well with crit and survivability while Second Wind is lowkey busted for toughness recovery. The reason why we run Blades of Faith is because we are already taking the talents right above it and it never hurts to have a quick, special sniping option on hand.
We have to take a hefty point tax to get to Duellist but the damage increase is always worth it.
Go down the left column towards Beacon of Purity, which we are taking to assist with corruption modifiers in Havoc and Aurics. Unremitting and Sainted Gunslinger will actually be used quite often, while Shield of Contempt and Hammer of Faith are pretty bad.
COSF is the bread and butter of this build and you should always take Ecclesiarch's Call unless you have another Zealot in the group running COSF in which you may want to consider taking Holy Cause. The damage increase is more valuable because in Havoc and Auric Maelstrom there are a ton of high health priority targets that are almost always going to be loaded up with Damage Over Time (DOT) effects. This allows you to increase the DPS of your party by 20% constantly.
Blazing Piety is a phenomenal keystone for this build because of the crit benefits it provides. There is an argument to be made for Stalwart instead of Fury Rising, but I prefer Fury Rising to be able to grab 10% more crit in Righteous Warrior. This synergizes really well with the Flesh Tearer and Infernus blessings on our weapons or the Flamer as a whole since when you crit with it you apply 2 stacks of burn instead of 1.
